Join us both in-person and online for our next meetup at Riff. For this particular meetup, we channel our focus into The Opportunity in Asia.

Kicking off with a presentation from Amelia Walsh, Senior Trade and Investment Commissioner, Bangkok (previously Singapore) of Austrade to learn more about the agtech landscape in Asia, how to engage with international markets and how Austrade can help. We’ll also hear from home-grown Orijin Plus about their experiences expanding into Asia (TBC). A panel discussion with industry experts will follow, covering topics such as market potential, technology adoption, investment climate, key learnings, and future trends:

• Listiana Operananta, Consul General of the Republic of Indonesia, Perth
